Upton’s Country Comfort Personal Care Home

Upton's Country Comfort Personal Care Home sits in a quiet countryside neighborhood in Normalville and offers assisted living and memory care for up to 16 residents, and folks say the setting's peaceful and the views out the windows are pleasant, which isn't something you get everywhere, so if you like the country, that's a plus. The care team there stays on-site all day and night, helping residents with daily needs like grooming, bathing, and reminders for medications, and they're trained to handle wandering or physical behaviors, which is important if someone has memory issues or tends to move around a bit much. The community's designed to feel warm and welcoming, with well-kept living spaces, shared rooms starting at $1,089, and private studio rooms at $3,000, and the common areas are roomy enough for folks to gather if they want to chat or take part in activities that they put on to help residents stay active, meet others, or keep their minds busy, and there's also outdoor gardens for those who like being outside. Residents can get housekeeping help, laundry, and transportation for doctor visits, and if someone needs insulin shots or special diabetic care, the staff knows how to do that too, which is helpful for families looking for a place that can manage those things in one spot. There's a visiting nurse and podiatrist, and a doctor on call, so healthcare's steady and a little more convenient. Shared rooms, semi-private options, and more private studios let folks pick what works for their needs and budget, and you can pay by cash or check. They make meals with good ingredients and try to consider dietary needs, and pets like dogs or cats might be allowed, depending on the circumstances. The staff can handle transfers with one or two people or a lift, so folks who have trouble moving can get help with dignity, and incontinence care is on hand, from reminders to full support, with the aim always being to help everyone stay comfortable and safe. Upton's Country Comfort says it respects the rights, dignity, and choices of residents and pays attention to the small things, and while there's no claim that every detail will be perfect, the team puts care and attention into making it a home where folks can have some independence, support, and respect as they go about their days. The facility's state license number is 474700, and being locally owned, it carries a neighborhood feel that works for some people looking for a simpler, supportive setting in their later years.
